Christopher Tynan Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Meleagris Gallopavo Vineyard 2013

Christopher Tynan Wines’ 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from Meleagris Gallopavo Vineyard is a profound Napa Valley bottling defined by power, precision and remarkable purity. Sourced from old vines planted in a complex mix of gravel, volcanic ash and clay, it is a compelling example of the exceptional quality achieved in Napa’s outstanding 2013 vintage. Robert Parker praised the wine as a “singular, profound and majestic Cabernet Sauvignon” with the potential for a 50-year lifespan.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an almost opaque core, revealing its concentration from the first pour. Its aromatic profile is layered and compelling, combining ripe blueberry and blackcurrant with crushed stone, violet, graphite and subtle cedar. On the palate, it is monumental yet precise, with dense layers of dark fruit, mineral energy and impressive depth. Massive but polished tannins provide an architectural structure, while the wine’s freshness keeps the powerful fruit focused and balanced. Still youthful, this Cabernet Sauvignon has exceptional aging potential and should continue to evolve for several decades, with a projected life of around 50 years under ideal cellaring conditions.

Production
The fruit comes from old Cabernet Sauvignon vines in Meleagris Gallopavo Vineyard, where gravel, volcanic ash and clay contribute both concentration and mineral definition. The available information does not specify the harvesting methods, fermentation vessels or maturation regime, but the finished wine’s depth, structure and integration point to highly selective production aimed at expressing the vineyard’s full potential.

Food & Serving
Its scale and structure make this an ideal partner for rich, deeply flavoured dishes such as prime rib, grilled or braised beef, venison, lamb and truffle-accented preparations. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Given its youth and formidable tannins, decant for two to three hours before serving; older bottles should be handled more gently and decanted only to remove sediment.

Producer
Christopher Tynan Wines is associated with highly individualistic, small-production Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, with a focus on intensity, precision and long-term development. This 2013 Meleagris Gallopavo Vineyard bottling stands as a particularly ambitious expression of the estate’s style and of Napa’s celebrated 2013 vintage. Its critical recognition, including Robert Parker’s exceptional review, underlines its significance among serious Napa Cabernet Sauvignon releases.
